Summary:

2008 entwickelte das Institut für Kunst und Architektur der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien eine neue Basis für die Ausbildung. Man schuf fünf Forschungsplattformen: Analogue and Digital Production (ADP), Ecology Sustainability Conservation (ESC), History Theory Criticism (HTC), Geogra-phy Landscape Cities (GLC) und Construction Material Technology (CMT). Die zuletzt genannte Plattform CMT wird von Michelle Howard geleitet; sie hat dort das Unterrichts-Programm Research Observe Make (ROM) etabliert. Die Publikation ROM dokumentiert dieses Programm und bildet gleichzeitig die Basis für die künftige Entwicklung. Sie besteht aus fünf einzeln lesbaren, jedoch komplementären Büchern, die in einem Band zusammengefasst sind. Nach einer Einleitung und einer theoretischen Reflexion werden die Forschungsprojekte „Elemente“, „Raum“ und „Material“ vorgestellt. Das letzte Buch dokumentiert Workshops, Vorträge und Experimente.Ein anregendes Lesebuch mit vielen Fachbeiträgen und kreativen studentischen Projekten.

In 2008, the Department of Art and Architecture at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts developed a new basis for the architecture curriculum. They created five research platforms: Analogue and Digital Production (ADP), Ecology Sustainability Conservation (ESC), History Theory Criticism (HTC), Geography Landscape Cities (GLC) and Construction Material Technology (CMT). The CMT platform is lead by Michelle Howard; who used the platform to explore the Research Observe Make (ROM) teaching studies. The ROM publication documents this program of studies and also forms the basis for future development. It comprises, assembled in one volume, five complementary books, which can also be read individually. After an introduction and an exposé on theory, the "elemental", "spatial" and "material" projects are introduced. The last book documents workshops, lectures and experiments. An inspiring compendium with numerous expert contributions and creative student projects.
